2.2 Breaker Failure Protection
When fault clearance fails due to a breaker failure, the breaker failure protection (BFP) clears the
fault by backup tripping of adjacent circuit breakers.
If the current continues to flow even after a trip command is output, the BFP judges it as a breaker
failure. The existence of the current is detected by an overcurrent element provided for each
phase. For high-speed operation of the BFP, high-speed reset overcurrent elements OCBF and
EFBF are used. The OCBF is three phase overcurrent element and the EFBF is zero-sequence
overcurrent element. These elements reset when the current falls below 80% of the operating
value.
In order to prevent the BFP from starting by accident during maintenance work and testing, and
thus tripping adjacent breakers, the BFP has the optional function of retripping the original
breaker. To make sure that the breaker has actually failed, a trip command is made to the original
breaker again before tripping the adjacent breakers to prevent unnecessary tripping of the
adjacent breakers following the erroneous start-up of the BFP. It is possible to choose not to use
retripping at all, or use retripping with a trip command plus delayed pickup timer, or retripping
with a trip command plus overcurrent detection plus delayed pickup timer.
An overcurrent element and delayed pickup timer are provided for each phase which also operate
correctly during the breaker failure routine in the event of a developing fault.
Scheme logic
The BFP is performed on a per-phase basis. Figure 2.2.1 shows the scheme logic for one phase
(A-phase). The BFP is started by a per-phase based trip signal EXT.TRIPA or a three-phase
based trip signal EXT.TRIPOR of the external line protection. This trip signal must continuously
exist as long as the fault is present.
Figure 2.2.1 BFP Scheme Logic
The tripping signal to the adjacent breakers CBF-TRIP is transmitted if the overcurrent element OCBF or EFBF operates continuously for the setting time of the delayed pick-up timer TBF2 after initiation. The OCBF or EFBF can be disabled by the scheme switch [OCBF] or [EFBF]. Tripping of adjacent breakers can be blocked with the scheme switch [BF2].

There are two kinds of modes of the retrip signal to the original breaker. RETRIP, the mode in which RETRIP is controlled by the overcurrent element OCBF or EFBF, and the direct trip mode in which RETRIP is not controlled. The retrip mode together with the trip block can be selected with the scheme switch [BF1].
Figure 2.2.2 shows a sequence diagram of the BFP when a retrip and backup trip are used. If the circuit breaker trips normally, the OCBF and EFBF reset before timer TBF1 or TBF2 picks up and the BFP resets. As TBF1 and TBF2 start at the same time, the setting value of TBF2 should include that of TBF1.
If the OCBF or EFBF continues to operate, a retrip command is given to the original breaker after the setting time of TBF1. Unless the breaker fails, the OCBF and EFBF are reset by the retrip. The TBF2 does not pickup and the BFP resets. This sequence of events may happen if the BFP is initiated by mistake and unnecessary tripping of the original breaker is unavoidable.
If the original breaker fails, retrip has no effect and the OCBF or EFBF continues operating and
the TBF2 finally picks up. A trip command CBF-TRIP is given to the adjacent breakers and the
BFP is completed.

[BF1] T/TOC/OFF TOC Retrip mode
[BF2] ON/OFF ON Adjacent breakers trip
[OCBF] ON/OFF ON OCBF element
[EFBF] ON/OFF OFF EFBF element
(*) Current values shown in the parentheses are in the case of 1 A rating. Other current values are in
the case of 5 A rating.
The overcurrent element OCBF or EFBF checks that the circuit breaker has opened and that the
current has disappeared. Therefore, since it is allowed to respond to the load current, it can be set
to 10 to 200% of the rated current.
The settings of TBF1 and TBF2 are determined by the opening time of the original circuit
breaker (Tcb in Figure 2.2.2) and the reset time of the overcurrent element (Toc in Figure 2.2.2).
The timer setting example when using retrip can be obtained as follows.
Setting of TBF1 = Breaker opening time + OCBF reset time + Margin
= 40ms + 10ms + 20ms
= 70ms
Setting of TBF2 = TBF1 + Output relay operating time + Breaker opening time +
OCBF reset time + Margin
= 70ms + 10ms + 40ms + 10ms + 10ms
= 140ms
If retrip is not used, the setting of the TBF2 can be the same as the setting of the TBF1.
The actual tripping time after BFP start will be added the time (approx. 15 to 20ms) consumed by
motion of binary input and output to above timer’s settings.

2.3 Tripping Output
The tripping logic is shown in Figure 2.3.1. The GRC100 has four tripping output relays for
CBF-TRIP and RETRIP. When the tripping mode selection switch TPMD is set to "SCM1", the
heavy duty, high-speed operation type output relays TP-1 to -4 are used for the adjacent breakers
trip. When the switch TPMD is set to "SCM2", the TP-1 to -3 are used for the original breaker
trip and the TP-4 for the adjacent breakers trip.
The above four tripping output relays each have one normally open contact.
The tripping output relays reset 200ms after the tripping signal disappears by clearing the fault.
The tripping circuit must be opened with the auxiliary contact of the breaker prior to reset of the
tripping relay to prevent the tripping relay from directly interrupting the tripping current of the
breaker.

MPU Module
The MPU module consists of main processing unit (MPU), random access memory (RAM) and
read only memory (ROM) and executes all kinds of processing such as protection, measurement,
recording and display.
The MPU implements 60 MIPS and uses two RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computer) type
32-bit microprocessors.
DO/COM Module
The DO/COM module incorporates four auxiliary relays (TP-1 to TP-4) dedicated to the circuit
breaker tripping command, 5 auxiliary relays (BO1-BO4 and FAIL) for binary output signals and
an RS485 transceiver.
TP-1 to TP-4 are the high-speed operation type and have one normally open contact.
The auxiliary relay FAIL has one normally closed contact, and operates when a relay failure or
abnormality in the DC circuit is detected. BO1 to BO4 each have one normally open contact.
The RS485 transceiver is used for the link with the relay setting and monitoring (RSM) system.
The external signal is insulated from the relay internal signal.
Human Machine Interface (HMI) Module
The operator can access the GRC100 via the human machine interface (HMI) module. As shown
in Figure 3.1.3, the HMI panel has a liquid crystal display (LCD), light emitting diodes (LED),
view and reset keys, operation keys, monitoring jacks and an RS232C connector on the front
panel.
The LCD consists of 16 columns by 2 rows with a back-light and displays recording, status and
setting data.
There are a total of 6 LED indicators and their signal labels and LED colors are defined as
follows:
Label Color Remarks
IN SERVICE Green Lit when relay is in service.
TRIP Red Lit when trip command is issued.
ALARM Red Lit when failure is detected.
TESTING Red Lit when automatic monitoring function is disabled by the
scheme switch [A.M.F] setting.
(LED1) Red
(LED2) Red
LED1 and LED2 are user-configurable. For the setting, see Section 4.2.6.10.
Once it has started operating, the TRIP LED remains lit even after the trip command disappears.
Pressing the RESET key resets it. Other LEDs operates as long as a signal is present. The
RESET key is ineffective for these LEDs.
The VIEW key starts the LCD indication and switches between windows. The RESET key
clears the LCD indication and turns off the LCD back-light.

Binary input signals
Table 3.2.2 shows the binary input signals necessary for the GRC100, their driving contact
conditions and functions enabled. See Appendix G for external connections.
The binary input circuit of the GRC100 is provided with a logic level inversion function as
shown in Figure 3.2.1. Each input circuit has a binary switch BISW which can be used to select
either normal or inverted operation. This allows the inputs to be driven either by normally open
or normally closed contacts. Where the driving contact meets the contact conditions indicated in
Table 3.2.2 then the BISW can be set to “N” (normal). If not, then “I” (inverted) should be
selected.
The default setting of the BISW is "N" (normal) for all input signals.
If a signal is not input, the function concerned is disabled.
The minimum operating voltage of binary input signal is 70V DC at 110V/125V DC rating and
100V DC at 220V/250V DC rating.

The signals shown in the signal list in Appendix B can be assigned to the output relay BO1 to
BO4 individually or in arbitrary combinations. Signals can be combined using either an AND
circuit or OR circuit with 4 gates each as shown in Figure 3.2.2. The output circuit can be
configured according to the setting menu. Appendix E shows the factory default settings.
A 0.2s delayed drop-off timer can be attached to these assigned signals. The delayed drop-off
time is disabled by the scheme switch [BOTD].
The relay failure contact closes the contact when a relay defect or abnormality in the DC power
supply circuit is detected.

3.3 Automatic Supervision
3.3.1 Basic Concept of Supervision
Though the protection system is in a non-operating state under normal conditions, it is waiting
for a power system fault to occur at any time and must operate for the fault without fail.
Therefore, the automatic supervision function, which checks the health of the protection system
during normal operation, plays an important role. A numerical relay based on the microprocessor
operations is suitable for implementing this automatic supervision function of the protection
system. The GRC100 implements the automatic supervision function taking advantage of this
feature based on the following concept:
The supervising function should not affect the protection performance.
Perform supervision with no omissions wherever possible.
When a failure occurs, it should be able to easily identify the location of the failure.
Note: Automatic supervision function includes the automatic monitor function and automatic test
function. For the terminology, refer to IEC IEV 60448.
3.3.2 Relay Monitoring
The relay is supervised with the following items.
AC input imbalance monitoring
The AC current input is monitored to check that the following equation is satisfied and the health
of the AC input circuit is checked.
CT circuit current monitoring
Max(|Ia|, |Ib|, |Ic|) 4 Min(|Ia|, |Ib|, |Ic|) k0
where,
Max(|Ia|, |Ib|, |Ic|) = Maximum amplitude among Ia, Ib and Ic
Min(|Ia|, |Ib|, |Ic|) = Minimum amplitude among Ia, Ib and Ic
k0 = 20% of rated current
The CT circuit current monitoring allows high sensitivity detection of failures that have occurred
in the AC input circuit.
A/D accuracy checking
An analogue reference voltage is input to a prescribed channel in the analogue-to-digital (A/D)
converter, and it is checked that the data after A/D conversion is within a prescribed range and
that the A/D conversion characteristics are correct.
Memory monitoring
The memories are monitored as follows depending on the type of memory, and checked that the
memory circuits are healthy:
Random access memory monitoring:
Writes/reads prescribed data and checks the storage function.
Program memory monitoring: Checks the checksum value of the written data.
19
6 F 2 S 0 7 3 2
Setting value monitoring: Checks discrepancy between the setting values stored in
duplicate.
Watchdog Timer
A hardware timer which is cleared periodically by the software is provided and it is checked that
the software is running normally.
DC Supply Monitoring
The secondary voltage level of the built-in DC/DC converter is monitored, and checked that the
DC voltage is within a prescribed range.
3.3.3 Failure Alarms
When a failure is detected by the automatic supervision, it is followed with an LCD message,
LED indication, external alarm and event recording. Table 3.3.1 summarises the supervision
items and alarms.
The LCD messages are shown on the "Auto-supervision" screen which is displayed
automatically when a failure is detected or displayed by pressing the VIEW key. The event
record messages are shown on the "Event record" screen by opening the "Record" sub-menu.
The alarms are retained until the failure is recovered.
The alarms can be disabled collectively by setting the scheme switch [AMF] to OFF. The setting
is used to block unnecessary alarms during commissioning, test or maintenance.
When the Watchdog Timer detects that the software is not running normally, LCD display and
event recording of the failure may not function normally.

3.4 Recording Function
The GRC100 is provided with the following recording functions:
Fault recording
Event recording
Disturbance recording
These records are displayed on the LCD of the relay front panel or on the local or remote PC.
3.4.1 Fault Recording
Fault recording is started by a tripping command of the GRC100 and the following items are
recorded for one fault:
Date and time
Start phase
Trip mode
Power system quantities
Up to the 8 most-recent faults are stored as fault records. If a new fault occurs when 8 faults have
been stored, the record of the oldest fault is deleted and the record of the latest fault is then
stored.
Date and time occurrence
This is the time at which a tripping command of breaker failure protection has been initiated.
The time resolution is 1 ms using the relay internal clock.
Start phase
The phase initiated by a trip signal of the line protection is indicated as an initiation phase.
Trip mode
When the original breaker retrip or the adjacent breakers trip command is output, Retrip or Trip
is recorded.
Power system quantities
The phase and residual currents in pre-faults and post-faults are recorded.
- Magnitude of phase current (Ia, Ib, Ic)
- Magnitude of residual current (3I0)
3.4.2 Event Recording
The events shown in Table 3.4.1 are recorded with the 1 ms resolution time-tag when the status
changes. The user can select the recording items and their status change mode to initiate
recording.
Up to 96 records can be stored. If an additional event occurs when 96 records have been stored,
the oldest event record is deleted and the latest event record is then stored.

corresponds to all the setting changes except setting changes in the sub-menu "Protection".
(See section 4.2.6 for changing the settings). The event "Relay setting changed" corresponds to
setting change of measuring elements and timers in the sub-menu "Protection". The event
"Group setting changed" corresponds to other setting changes in the sub-menu "Protection".
Setting
Recording mode can be set for each event. One of the following four modes is selectable.
Modes Setting
Not to record the event. N
To record the event when the status changes to "operate". O
To record the event when the status changes to "reset". R
To record the event when the status changes both to "operate" and "reset". B
For the setting, see the Section 4.2.6.5. The default setting is "B" (=both) for all events except
those marked with (*). The events marked with (*) have a default setting of "O" (operate).
3.4.3 Disturbance Recording
Disturbance recording is started when the overcurrent starter element operates or a tripping
command is initiated. The records include four analogue signals (Ia, Ib, Ic, 3I0), 12 binary signals
listed below and the dates and times at which recording started.
- OCBF A - Retrip A - Ext. trip A
- OCBF B - Retrip B - Ext. trip B
- OCBF C - Retrip C - Ext. trip C
- EFBF - Trip - Ext. trip OR
The LCD display only shows the dates and times of disturbance records stored. Details can be
displayed on a PC. For how to obtain disturbance records on the PC, see the PC software
instruction manual.

4.4 Relay Setting and Monitoring System
The Relay Setting and Monitoring (RSM) system is a system that retrieves and analyses the data
on power system quantities, fault and event records and views or changes settings in individual
relays via a telecommunication network using a remote PC.
Figure 4.4.1 shows the configuration of the RSM system.
The relays are connected through twisted pair wires and up to 32 relays can be connected. The
total length of twisted pair wires should not exceed 1200 m.
Relays are mutually connected using an RS485 port and connected to a PC RS232C port via the
protocol converter G1PR1.

4.5 Clock Function
The clock function (Calendar clock) is used for time-tagging for the following purposes:
Event records
Disturbance records
Fault records
The calendar clock can run locally or be synchronised with the external IRIG-B time standard
signal or RSM clock. This can be selected by setting.
If it is necessary for the synchronisation with the IRIG-B time standard signal, it is possible to
transform GMT to the local time by setting.
When the relays are connected with the RSM system as shown in Figure 4.4.1 and selected
"RSM" in the time synchronisation setting, the calendar clock of each relay is synchronised with
the RSM clock. If the RSM clock is synchronised with the external time standard (GPS clock
etc.), then all the relay clocks are synchronized with the external time standard.

5. Installation
5.1 Receipt of Relays
When relays are received, carry out the acceptance inspection immediately. In particular, check
for damage during transportation, and if any is found, contact the vendor.
Check that the following accessories are attached.
3 pins for the monitoring jack, packed in a plastic bag.
Always store the relays in a clean, dry environment.
5.2 Relay Mounting
A flush mounting relay is delivered. Appendix F shows the case outlines.
For details of relay withdrawal and insertion, see Section 6.7.3.
5.3 Electrostatic Discharge
CAUTION
Do not take out the relay unit outside the relay case since electronic components on the modules
are very sensitive to electrostatic discharge. If it is absolutely essential to take the modules out of
the case, do not touch the electronic components and terminals with your bare hands.
Additionally, always put the module in a conductive anti-static bag when storing it.
5.4 Handling Precautions
A person's normal movements can easily generate electrostatic potentials of several thousand
volts. Discharge of these voltages into semiconductor devices when handling electronic circuits
can cause serious damage, which often may not be immediately apparent but the reliability of the
circuit will have been reduced.
The electronic circuits are completely safe from electrostatic discharge when housed in the case.
Do not expose them to risk of damage by withdrawing relay unit unnecessarily.
The relay unit incorporates the highest practicable protection for its semiconductor devices.
However, if it becomes necessary to withdraw the relay unit, the precautions should be taken to
preserve the high reliability and long life for which the equipment has been designed and
manufactured.
CAUTION
Before removing the relay unit, ensure that you are at the same electrostatic potential as
the equipment by touching the case.
Use the handle to draw out the relay unit. Avoid touching the electronic components,
printed circuit board or connectors.
Do not pass the relay unit to another person without first ensuring you are both at the same
electrostatic potential. Shaking hands achieves equipotential.
57
6 F 2 S 0 7 3 2
Place the relay unit on an anti-static surface, or on a conducting surface which is at the
same potential as yourself.
Do not place the relay unit in polystyrene trays.
It is strongly recommended that detailed investigations on electronic circuitry should be carried
out in a Special Handling Area such as described in the aforementioned IEC 60747.
5.5 External Connections
External connections for each relay model are shown in Appendix G.

6. Commissioning and Maintenance
6.1 Outline of Commissioning Tests
The GRC100 is fully numerical and the hardware is continuously monitored.
Commissioning tests can be kept to a minimum and need only include hardware tests and the
conjunctive tests. The function tests are at the user’s discretion.
In these tests, user interfaces on the front panel of the relay or local PC can be fully applied.
Test personnel must be familiar with general relay testing practices and safety precautions to
avoid personal injuries or equipment damage.
Hardware tests
These tests are performed for the following hardware to ensure that there is no hardware defect.
Defects of hardware circuits other than the following can be detected by monitoring which
circuits function when the DC power is supplied.
User interfaces
Binary input circuits and output circuits
AC input circuits
Function tests
These tests are performed for the following functions that are fully software-based.
Measuring elements
Metering and recording
Conjunctive tests
The tests are performed after the relay is connected with the primary equipment and other
external equipment.
The following tests are included:
On load test: phase sequence check and polarity check
Tripping circuit test

6.2 Cautions
6.2.1 Safety Precautions
CAUTION
The relay rack is provided with an earthing terminal.
Before starting the work, always make sure the relay rack is earthed.
When connecting the cable to the back of the relay, firmly fix it to the terminal block and
attach the cover provided on top of it.
Before checking the interior of the relay, be sure to turn off the power.
Failure to observe any of the precautions above may cause electric shock or malfunction.
6.2.2 Cautions on Tests
CAUTION
While the power is on, do not drawout/insert the relay unit.
Before turning on the power, check the following:
- Make sure the polarity and voltage of the power supply are correct.
- Make sure the CT circuit is not open.
If dc power has not been supplied to the relay for two days or more, then it is recommended
that all fault records, event records and disturbance records be cleared soon after restoring the
power. This is because the back-up RAM may have discharged and may contain uncertain
data.
Be careful that the relay is not damaged due to an overcurrent or overvoltage.
If settings are changed for testing, remember to reset them to the original settings.
Failure to observe any of the precautions above may cause damage or malfunction of the relay.

6.5 Function Test
6.5.1 Measuring Element
Measuring element characteristics are realised by software, so it is possible to verify the overall
characteristics by checking representative points.
Operation of the element under test is observed by the binary output signal at monitoring jacks A
or B or by the LED indications above the jacks. In any case, the signal number corresponding to
each element output must be set on the "Logic circuit" screen of the "Test" sub-menu.

When a signal number is entered for the Term A line, the signal is observed at monitoring jack A
and when entered for the Term B line, it is observed at monitoring jack B.
Note: The voltage level at the monitoring jacks is +5V for logic level "1" and less than 0.1V for
logic level "0".
CAUTION Use test equipment with more than 1 k of internal impedance when observing the output
signal at the monitoring jacks.
Do not apply an external voltage to the monitoring jacks.
Do not leave the A or B terminal shorted to 0V terminal for a long time.
In case of a three-phase element, it is sufficient to test for a representative phase. The A-phase
element is selected hereafter.

6.5.3 Protection Scheme
In the protection scheme tests, a dynamic test set is required to simulate power system pre-fault,
fault and post-fault conditions.
Tripping is observed with the tripping command output relays TP-1 to -4.
Set the scheme switch [BF1] to "T" or "TOC", [BF2] to "ON" and [TPMD] to "SCM2".
Apply a fault, retain it and input an external trip signal. Check that the retrip output relays
TP-1 to TP-3 operate after the time setting of the TBF1 and the adjacent breaker tripping
output relay TP-4 operates after the time setting of the TBF2.
6.5.4 Metering and Recording
The metering function can be checked while testing the AC input circuit. See Section 6.4.4.
Fault recording can be checked while testing the protection schemes. Open the "Fault records"
screen and check that the descriptions are correct for the fault concerned.
Recording events are listed in Table 3.4.1. The top 4 events and eighth event are external events
and others are internal events. Event recording on the external event can be checked by changing
the status of binary input signals. Change the status in the same way as the binary input circuit
test (see Section 6.4.2) and check that the description displayed on the "Event Records" screen is
correct.
Note: Whether to record or not can be set for each event. Change the status of the binary input signal
after confirming that the related event is set to record. (The default setting enables all the events
to be recorded.)
Some of the internal events can be checked in the protection scheme tests.
Disturbance recording can be checked while testing the protection schemes. The LCD display
only shows the date and time when a disturbance is recorded. Open the "Disturbance records"
screen and check that the descriptions are correct.
Details can be displayed on the PC. Check that the descriptions on the PC are correct. For details
on how to obtain disturbance records on the PC, see the RSM100 Manual.

6 F 2 S 0 7 3 2
6.7 Maintenance
6.7.1 Regular Testing
The relay is almost completely self-supervised. The circuits that can not be supervised are binary
input and output circuits and human interfaces.
Therefore, regular testing is minimised to checking the unsupervised circuits. The test
procedures are the same as described in Sections 6.4.1, 6.4.2 and 6.4.3.
6.7.2 Failure Tracing and Repair
Failures will be detected by automatic supervision or regular testing.
When a failure is detected by supervision, a remote alarm is issued with the binary output relay of
FAIL and the failure is indicated on the front panel with LED indicators or LCD display. It is also
recorded in the event record.
Failures detected by supervision are traced by checking the "Err: " screen on the LCD. Table
6.7.1 shows LCD messages and failure locations.
The locations marked with (1) have a higher probability than locations marked with (2).
Table 6.7.1 LCD Message and Failure Location

Err: LCD (LCD circuit)
Err: CT (AC input circuit)(1) (2)
( ): Probable failure location in the relay unit including its peripheral circuits.
70
6 F 2 S 0 7 3 2
If no message is shown on the LCD, this means that the failure location is either in the DC power
supply circuit or in the microprocessors. If the "ALARM" LED is off, the failure is in the DC
power supply circuit. If the LED is lit, the failure is in the microprocessors. Replace the relay unit
in both cases after checking if the correct DC voltage is applied to the relay.
If a failure is detected by automatic supervision or regular testing, replace the failed relay unit.
Note: When a failure or an abnormality is detected during the regular test, confirm the following
first:
- Test circuit connections are correct.
- Modules are securely inserted in position.
- Correct DC power voltage is applied.
- Correct AC inputs are applied.
- Test procedures comply with those stated in the manual.
6.7.3 Replacing Failed Relay Unit
If the failure is identified to be in the relay unit and the user has a spare relay unit, the user can
recover the protection by replacing the failed relay unit.
Repair at the site should be limited to relay unit replacement. Maintenance at the component
level is not recommended.
Check that the replacement relay unit has an identical Model Number and relay version (software
type form) as the removed relay.
The Model Number is indicated on the front of the relay. For the relay version, see Section
4.2.5.1.
Replacing the relay unit
CAUTION After replacing the relay unit, check the settings.
The procedure of relay withdrawal and insertion is as follows:
Switch off the DC power supply.
Hazardous voltage may remain in the DC circuit just after switching off the
DC power supply. It takes about 30 seconds for the voltage to discharge.
Disconnect the trip outputs.
Short-circuit all AC current inputs.
Unscrew the relay front cover.
Unscrew the binding screw on the handle.
To remove the relay unit from its case, pull up the handle and pull the handle towards you.
(See Figure 6.7.1.)
Insert the (spare) relay unit in the reverse procedure.
CAUTION To avoid risk of damage:
Keep the handle up when inserting the relay unit into the case.
Do not catch the handle when carrying the relay unit.

6.7.4 Resumption of Service
After replacing the failed relay unit or repairing failed external circuits, take the following
procedures to restore the relay to the service.
Switch on the DC power supply and confirm that the "IN SERVICE" green LED is lit and the
"ALARM" red LED is not lit.
Supply the AC inputs and reconnect the trip outputs.
6.7.5 Storage
The spare relay should be stored in a dry and clean room. Based on IEC Standard 60255-6 the
storage temperature should be 25C to +70C, but the temperature of 0C to +40C is
recommended for long-term storage.

7. Putting Relay into Service
The following procedure must be adhered to when putting the relay into service after finishing
the commissioning tests or maintenance tests.
Check that all the external connections are correct.
Check the settings of all measuring elements, timers, scheme switches, recordings and clock
are correct.
In particular, when settings are changed temporarily for testing, be sure to restore them.
Clear any unnecessary records on faults, events and disturbances which are recorded during
the tests.
CAUTION: If dc power has not been supplied to the relay for two days or more, then it is
recommended that all fault records, event records and disturbance records be
cleared soon after restoring the power. This is because the back-up RAM may
have discharged and may contain uncertain data.
Press the VIEW key and check that no failure message is displayed on the
"Auto-supervision" screen.
Check that the green "IN SERVICE" LED is lit and no other LEDs are lit on the front panel.
